ARP rod bolt - Need to resize?

If I fit a set of ARP bolts into a set of rods that have already been resized, will the bottoms of the rods need to be resized again?

Thank you

Yes. Removing and re-installing the bolts will distort the rod.

yep there isn't much way around it if you change bolts. the arp wave lock bolts are pretty good at distorting the big end.
